BTCL (unch, $51k) and Engen (unch, $7.4k) the only two names worth mentioning in Gaborone bourse today.

Kenya: NSE 20 -0.37%, USD 2.46m

A very dull day in Nairobi as activity remains incredibly muted. The major action went through in Safcom (unch, KES25.75). The rest of the market was quiet as foreigners were net sellers.

Not the best way to start the week in Mauritius with trivial Rs21.4k changing hands on the bourse.

Things slowed down rather drastically on the Nigerian stock exchange today starting the week with some small activity in Nestle (-5.00%, $3.5m), Guaranty (-0.10, $646k), NB (-1.76%, $567k) and Wapco (-2.87%, $531k )the only names worth mentioning.
